Hi folks, I need some help! After running MojavePatch on early2008 MBPs flawlessly, yesterday I tried to install MojavePatch onto a late2008 2,8GHz 15" MacBookPro5,1 without any success so far. Installation of Mojave runs fine, Patcher (with recommended settings for that very model) as well, but...

Hello dear colleagues! This problem started yesterday. Very long image rendering time (low fps) and ghosting. Sometimes there are stripes. There are no problems on the external monitor. So the problem is either in the cable or in the matrix. How to determine what exactly is the problem? I tried...

Hey guys! So I've tried searching for ways to do this but they haven't worked out. For example, every time I use MacPostFactor, it just gives me an error. With OS X Patcher, it won't let me use my keyboard so I can't actually patch the installation. Am I doing something wrong? Are there other...
